What is Mitt hiding? Really?

The latest question of this heir presumptive is why Mitt has so much of your wealth offshore and why offshore? Mother Jones has some interesting insights.
Doesn't this show a lack of confidence in American banks or perhaps something even more nefarious. His father advocated that a candidate should release perhaps a dozen years of financial info publically. To me this is pertinent to any
decision a voter makes in the upcoming election. There should be no secrets in a candidates life, that's how we can be assured of a public official's honesty and integrity. What say you? Isn't a full disclosure the least we should expect from a presidential candidate?

Mitt Romney is as phoney as they come. That guy doesn't give a shit about any of us or this country. Mitt is all about Mitt and nothing else. He's a salesman with a yard full of worthless junk to sell, a vampire in search of an open window.

How many of this guys collegues have to say it before it finally sticks? Oh, that's right, they think he's wonderful, now. Just don't look at their comments from the past, recent or otherwise.

I can remember thinking "W" was such a Goober and no one in their "Right" mind would vote for him. They did twice......

So Mr Mitt could be a shoe in.

Halfway up the large intestine, I imagine, should he be elected.

Asked about his taxes on CNN, Romney said that more information would be released.

“We’ll put out the next year of tax returns as soon as the accountants have that ready. And that’s what we’re going to put out. I know there will always be calls for more,” Romney said in an interview on CNN. “People always want to get more. And, you know, we’re putting out what is required plus more that is not required. And those are the two years that people are going to have. And that’s — that’s all that’s necessary for people to understand something about my finances.”

Hmmm, only two years? Why does it take weeks and a battery of accountants to see a copy of an already filed income tax form?

I smell something, I can't tell whether it's smoke or his shredder has caught fire.

He was appointed President in his first run by five black robed "kings" of the US. Then in his second run he was losing Ohio badly according to exit polling. Then magically the the numbers seemed to turn in favour of Bush. Then the exit polling statistics blew up and made no sense. Fox News immediately declared that Bush took Ohio.

The people never voted Bush in. SCOTUS did it in Florida and Blackwell did it in Ohio by rigging the electronic voting machines. The Diebold machines used in Ohio can easily be hacked in less than a minute using a compromised card and a key to open the access door to the card. All Diebold keys are the same. It would have been very easy to send "voters" out with a key and a compromised card. Pop that baby in and presto changeo three votes for Kerry turns into two votes for Bush and one for Kerry.

Even Mitt's his own party is calling him out for dodging this question. The President's conjecture was that he might not have paid any or very little in taxes in some of those years would certainly be unpopular in the blue collar red states that are appearing to be up for grabs.

Mitt also garnered three pinochios for his assertion that Kerry only revealed two years. Actually it was Kerry's wife who was browbeaten into revealing two years and she wasn't even running.

Maybe the Koch bros. and Adelsohn are right about Romney's campaign staff. They seem like a bunch of amateurs by not even confirming some of the stories they float up. Delinquent frat boys running a Presidential campaign!

What I find hillarious are their calls for an apology from President Obama. To which they were told to stop whining and put on their big boy pants. It's about time that the President's camp started giving these turkey's a taste of their own medicine. Unlike Romney's bunch of juvenile delinquents the President's team has been kicking some ass lately. To be honest it hasn't been that elusive of a target.

Geez, I just watched the Mother Jones writer on CurrentTV. Two points: (1) Adam Serwer ought stick to writing and stay off TV and (2) I think my ten minute viewing significantly increased CurrentTVs viewership.

And I'm sure they appreciate your giving them a look-see as well as your insightful analysis of their programming.

Be careful Bhunter that is a gateway drug....next thing you know you will be subscribing to the Nation and listening to NPR on the radio
